THANKS FOR THE YEARS.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

Thanks for the years Whose rapid fight

Thanks for the CLEANS of golden light
That tint the darkness of their wings;
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold,
Where all are blest and none may sigh,

COntesting the Liquor Law.

GRAND FORKS, Aug. 19.-On the strength of
Judge Gilflan's decision on the county legis-
lation Of Minnesota the bibulous interests Of
North Dakota Intend to contest the late act OF
the legislature providing for special legislation
by vote of counties. The reasoning of Judge
Gifllan, it is argued, will sustain the view
that this act is in conflict with the act of con-
gress of 1886, ropressing all manner uf local
legislation. They have employed Bangs l.
Bangs to bring the case before Judge McCon-
nell at an early day. The papers are filed
with Clerk Shut, aud the brief Of the attorneys
shows a formidable array against the power to
pass such law.in general terms for local and
special purposes. There are, however, some
strae snraeadan the other way, notably that
of the Philadelphia case, dnder an identrcaI
constitutional inhibition, the law In question
being one classifying cities, the only one OF
the first class being Philadelphia. The case is
bound to be tried, however, and many hope
for the success of the 'lcense interest,"" on
revenue grounds, especially.-St. Paul Glo6c.

The Visible SuDDIy,

In discussing Improbable exportable surplus
Of wheat from the United States during the
cereal year, Mr. E. H. Walker, late statstlcian
of the New York Produce Exchange, writes:
Bradstreet, on the % ult., gave the most CON-
plete and painstaking report OF visible and in
visible wheat and -four in this country ever
given, the total being, 71,9O5, 900 bushels of
wheat, with which to begin the year. The
probable winter wheat crop is 27O,0OOOOO
bushels, and the spring wheat crop about 154,
to 160,00O,00O bushels, making the total supply
of the new crop 424,OOO,OO0 to 43O,00O,OOO
bushels; with reserves July l, 1857, this gives
total supply Of 490,OO0,00O to 5O0,OoO,OOO
bushels, of which 100000 bushels may be
set aside as permanent reserve. This would
leave 456, 100000 to 46O,000,00O for home con-
sumption for all purposes and export. The
domestic consumption, including seed, manu-
factures and for food for u, ,976, 925, population
on June 30, 1887, in the country, is placed at
S45, 100000 bushels, which leaves an available
surplus of 100000 to 1l5,0OO,0OO bushels.
OF this quantity 20,000,000 bushels (wheat and
four) have been exported in the first five weeks
of the crop season to August s. These calcu-
latiOns are based on the best sources Of infor-
nation obtainable at the present time.

Dakota RccOgnixed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It is gratifying to
learn that the geological survey has finally
turned its attention to Dakota with some pron-
ise Of practical results. Some weeks ago at
tention was called to the fact that the survey
was spending much labor, time and money in
Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia In
work that was not Immediately necessary.
Dakota, with her growing population and ill.,
creasing demand fer knowledge of her own
resources Especially in the way of fuel and
water), was being neglected. Since that time
work upon the territory in the way Of glacial
investigation has begun, and the bureau In its
report for the past month alleges gratifying
progress. Tho immediate attention of the
survey is being given to gas and artesian wells,
two things which, If practical results are at
tanned, will solve two of the most perplexing
problems, by which the advancement of the
territory has yet been met.

The prospects for great big railroad war
seems to be growing every day. The Manitoba
seems to be the offending aud irrepressble
factor that is bringing about the conflict.
Heretofore the greater portion OF the wheat of
northern Minnesota and Dakota have found
the seaport at Chicago via the Minneapolis
Touring mills aud transfer elevators The de-
velopment Of tho country, however, has dis
covered Duluth as the nearest lake port and
therefore the most natural market for the pro-
ducts Of this country. The Manitoba railroad
and the Northern Pacific in revising their
schedules have made the same rate on wheat
to Duluth that they make to Minneapolis.
This practically prevents wheat going to Min
neapolis as it would have to be reshipped from
that point to Chicago or Duluth, with the ad-
ditional cost Of transportation between these
two points added. The Minneapolis papers
allege that this new ratio of the Manitoba and
Northern Pacific is a discrimination against
Minneapolis as milling center. President
WashburD, Of the Minneapolis 4 Pacific says
that as soon as the Manitoba's tariff goes into
effect, his road will make still lower rate to
Minneapolis, which would seem to be the only
thing for the Minneapolis i Pacific to do. 1t
eau not charge the same rate to Minneapolis
as the Manitoba does to Duluth and get any
wheat to haul, and as it has no Duluth outlet
it must either haul wheat to Minneapolis or
not haul it at all. Then again, tho branches
of the Manitoba road in South Dakota making
the same tariff to Duluth that they do to
Minneapolis will involve similar difficulty
with all the Chicago roads. In order to pro-
tect themselves, the Chicago roads will have to
make the same rates from South Dakota to
Chicago that the Manitoba makes from the
Same points to Duluth. The problem is be-
coming interesting and the prospects are very
good, indeed, that Minnesota and Dakota
farmers will get their wheat to lake port this
year at reduced rates.--Grand Forks Plain
dealer.

"A Rich, Reliable Soil.


1t is an auspicious time to invite tho atten
ton Of eastern people to the actual merits Of
Dakota as AL agricultural country. The year
has not been especially favorable, yet the har-
vest will be bounteous one. A compilation
OF reliable figures on this years yield through
out the territory will convince the most sceptl-
cal Of the superior advantages Of Dakota as
farming country. Only an insignificant frac-
ton Of the tillable area of tho territory was
put in cultivation this year, and the SEASON has
been unusually dry, yet one-tenth Of the whole
wheat crop of the country win come from
Dakota. Tho reason for this remarkable fact
is found in the extraordinary productivoness
OF Dakota soil. Even in years when unusual
dryness prevails, as was the case this year, tho
yield exceeds that Of most eastern districts in
their best years. Taking one year with an
other it cannot fairly be said that there Is any
remarkable lack Of moisture In Dakota. To
persons accustomed to the long, hot summers
Of Michigan, for instance, where for several
weeks at stretch the sky is yellow, and tho
sun beats down through suffocating atmos-
phere Of smoke from burning forests and vege-
tation, the grain and vegetable growing sea-
sons seem almost perfect One thing is demon
strated very clearly by the surprising result Of
this years farming operations in Dakota, aud
that is that fair crops can be raised in Dakots
under conditions of climate that in eastern
districts would produce a dead failure of crops.

1t is apparent that Dakota is in the lead.
No state in the west will approach her In the
size and quality Of her crop. So pronounced
and sharp is this advantage that there will be
no competitors. When the wheat column is
made up Dakota will stand at the head with
5O,0O0,OOO bushels. Even more, if the total
acreage-3, 1853, ,3S9-averages fifteen bushels
per acre. 1t is modest claim when we re-
member that there are whole counties report
ing perfect condition, ranging from 25 to 40
bushels per acre. Accepting Is bushels as the
average yield, and the grand total will be 5S,-
340,S35 bushels. Add to this principal crop,

A Garden Barometer,

One OF the simplest barometers is SPIDER
web. When there is a prospect of rain or
wind, the spider shortens the hlaments from
which its web is suspended and leaves things
in this state as long as the weather is variable.
If the insect elongates its threads, it is sign
of fine, calm weather, the duration Of which
may be judged Of by the length to which the
threads are let out. If the spider remains in
active, it is a sign Of ram; but If, on the con-
trary, it keeps at work during the rain, the
latter will not last long, and will be followed
by fine weather. Other observations have
taught that the spider makes changes in it's
web every twenty-four hours, and that if such
changes are made in the evening, just before
sunset the night will be clear and beautiful

Goose River Valley Railroad


CALEDONIA, Aug. PA party of surveyors
for new railroad reached hore last evening
from the east. They are unQuestionably in the
interest Of the new company incorporated in
St. Paul. This line, it is expected, will run
due west from the Grand Forks branch Of the
Of the Northern Pacific, crossing the Manitoba
at Rolette, aud the Red river at Caledonia,
thence passing up the Goose river about four
miles north of Hillsboro and striking Mayville.
1t is the undoubted purpose Of that company
to build at once, and such road would have a
large business from the start, and would be Of
great value to the Goose river valley, and es-
pecially to the village Of Caledonia. This pro-
posed road would give short line to Duluth
and thus provide the farmers of this section
with an excellent wheat market.

1t is at last definitely settled that Hope is to
have another elevator. The site has been des-
ignated by Superintendent jerks, just south of
the Cargill elevator, on the site now occupied
by H. L. Smiths coal shed. The new elevator
will be built by Messrs. Mann & Lehart, of
Minneapolis, formerly. Of Milwaukee. This
firm is reported to have plenty of means for
carrying on the business, and to be both lib
eral and enterprising in their dealings. With
the new elevator and the enlargement of the

capacity, itwould seem that Hope will have am
pie facilities for taking care of all the grain
that may seek market here.
